Last year MU went to StL in the 3rd Round and lost in a Penalty Kick Shootout. Besides a short spell early in the 2nd half MU played a terrible game and StL took some of the nicest PKs I have ever seen.

For me they won't be 100% legit league until the TV ratings are significantly higher.

MLS Week 12 - two games last night:
-Wed May 18Toronto 1-1 New York CityNew York Red Bulls 1-0 Chicago Fire

My MLS Notes:

30k+ in Toronto for a Wednesday game is tremendous.

The tie and 1 point gives NYC the Eastern Conf lead on points, but not points-per-game.

With only 3 total goals last night we might as well watch them all cuz they are quality:

-Mike Grella finishes off a great team goal for RBNY.
-Another strong team goal, this one by Toronto, touched into an open net by Will Johnson.
-And Kwadwo Poku of NYC had the best of the three!

Chicago has 7 points from 10 games. Its getting really bad. The summer transfer window can't come soon enough for them. The only good news is that they are just 10 points out of first place in the East.

Anecdotes on Twitter this morning are saying this is the worst start to a season for Chicago Fire ever.
